Police have arrested Israel Kwadwo Safo, popularly known as Akofena, and two other suspects in connection with the shooting incident involving former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament Sarah Adwoa Safo.
According to the Ghana Police Service, Israel Safo voluntarily presented himself at the Regional Police Headquarters on June 22, 2026, before being transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters to assist with ongoing investigations.
The development marks a significant step in efforts by law enforcement authorities to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident, which occurred on Sunday, June 21.
Police disclosed that a subsequent search of the suspect’s residence and vehicle in Kwabenya led to the retrieval of a cache of ammunition and firearms.
The items recovered included 120 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 50 rounds of .45 calibre ammunition, 25 rounds of .40 calibre ammunition, several loaded magazines, and two Glock pistols, one of which was reportedly registered in the suspect’s name.
Investigators have also arrested Nana Kwaku Afriyie and Kwadwo Safo Koomson, who are believed to have links to the incident.
All three suspects remain in police custody and are assisting investigators with inquiries into the matter.
The Police Service indicated that the suspects are expected to be arraigned before court on June 23, 2026, as investigations continue.
The arrests come amid heightened public interest in the case, which has drawn attention due to its connection to an ongoing dispute within the Kristo Asafo Mission and the involvement of prominent members of the Kwadwo Safo family.
